OUTDOOR ADVANTAGES OF THE HAVANA CATAMARANS

Comfort and conviviality

 The hull and deck lines are modern, clean and in keeping with the interior design. The quality of the furniture and exterior lighting provide a warm and elegant ambience. The living space is vast thanks to ergonomics layouts.

The wide side decks and flush hatches make it easy and safe to move around the deck.

Performance.

The fine hull lines of the Havanas reduce the wetted surface and provide a smooth glide through the water. The Havana catamarans guarantee good sailing performances and a great feeling. The large steering wheel and the location of the navigation instruments ensure the helmsman’s comfort.

COMFORTABLE ACCOMMODATION ONBOARD THE HAVANA CATAMARAN

Light and modularity of spaces

The size of the portholes has been optimized to offer excellent natural light and fantastic views over the ocean wherever you are in the boat. The saloon, which can be adapted to the owner’s choice, is very light and opens widely onto the outside. The telescopic tables allow this spacious and friendly dining area to be converted into a comfortable lounge with a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
